PORT ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; After three
decades of promoting local artists, the
Waterfront Art Gallery is having its final
reception tonight.
The cooperative gallery at 120 W. First
St. will shut down at the end of this
month, said February featured artist
Linda Parcell, who is president of the gallery board.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were hanging on by a thread,â&#x20AC;? she
said.
But the galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18 members decided
earlier this week to close the space, a
showcase for photography, jewelry, glass-

work, paintings and sculpture.
This is the second weekend of the
month, the time when downtown Port
Angelesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; art galleries host receptions to
bring artists and art lovers together, so
the Waterfront Art Gallery will have one
last party today from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m.
with hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres, beverages and music
by guitarist Andy Karney.

Art marked down
Admission is free, and all art is
marked down 30 percent.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just not making it,â&#x20AC;? said member artist Irene Loghry.

Members paid a $50 monthly fee to
exhibit work at the Waterfront Art Gallery, and the art there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all highend.
Prices range from $12 for Parcellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
jewelry to $390 for one of the more costly
paintings.
Still, Loghry said, business got so slow
that the cooperative couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t continue.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all love this gallery. Everybody
feels bad about it,â&#x20AC;? she added.
Loghry, a painter, has lived in Port
Angeles since 1954, so sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen wholesale changes in the downtown.

NELLO FERRARA,
93, lived a sweet life.
The candy company
executive who brought the
world Lemonheads and
Atomic Fire Balls routinely
serenaded the restaurants
where he dined and held
mandatory family dinners
every Sunday, said his son,
Salvatore Ferrara.
Mr. Ferrara died Friday
at his home in the Chicago
suburb of River Forest surrounded by his family.
The Forest Park-based
Ferrara Pan company was
started in 1908, and Mr.
Ferrara took it over from
his father decades ago.
The company, which
also makes Red Hots and
Boston Baked Beans, produces 1 million pound of
candy a day, Salvatore Ferrara said.
Salvatore Ferrara, the
company’s current president and CEO, said his
birth inspired his father to
invent the Lemonhead
candy.
“He always claimed that
when I was born, that I
came out of my mother
sideways . . . and my head
was shaped like a lemon,”
he said.
The Atomic Fire Ball
was invented after Mr. Ferrara’s time in Japan during
World War II.

States pen $25 billion
foreclosure agreement
1 million homeowners
to get mortgage relief
BY DEREK KRAVITZ
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — U.S. states reached a landmark
$25 billion deal Thursday with the nation’s biggest
mortgage lenders over foreclosure abuses that occurred
after the housing bubble burst.
The deal requires five of the largest banks to reduce
loans for about 1 million households at risk of foreclosure.
The lenders also will send checks of $2,000 to about
750,000 Americans who were improperly foreclosed
upon. The banks will have three years to fulfill the
terms of the deal.
It’s the biggest settlement involving a single industry since a 1998 multistate tobacco deal.
Officials announced at a news conference that 49
states had joined the settlement. Oklahoma announced
a separate deal with the five banks.
The settlement ends a painful chapter that emerged
from the financial crisis, when home values sank and
millions edged toward foreclosure.
Many companies processed foreclosures without
verifying documents. Some employees signed papers
they hadn’t read or used fake signatures to speed foreclosures — an action known as robo-signing.
Under the deal, the states said they won’t pursue
civil charges related to these types of abuses.
Homeowners can still sue lenders in civil court on
their own, and federal and state authorities can pursue criminal charges.
“There were many small wrongs that were done
here,” said U.S. Housing and Urban Development Sec-

retary Shaun Donovan.
“This does not resolve everything. We will be
aggressive about going after claims elsewhere.”
Reducing loan principal will help some homeowners who are current on their payments but are “underwater,” meaning they owe more than their homes are
worth.
But consumer advocates and housing activists said
the deal is flawed because it covers only a fraction of
at-risk homeowners. Critics note that the settlement
will apply only to privately held mortgages issued from
2008 through 2011.
Banks own about half of all U.S. mortgages —
roughly 30 million loans.
Those owned by mortgage giants Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac are not covered by the deal.

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon unveiled plans Thursday to
allow women to serve in thousands of military jobs closer to the
front lines, reflecting the realities
of the last decade of war.
Defense officials said the new
rules still will mean that woman
are barred from serving as infantry, armor and special operations
forces — considered the most dangerous combat jobs.
But the changes will open the
door for more opportunities and
promotions for women by allowing them to perform jobs they
already do but in battalions,

Quick Read

which are closer to the fighting
and once considered too dangerous for women.
A 1994 combat exclusion policy
bans women from being assigned
to ground combat units below the
brigade level.
A brigade is roughly 3,500
troops split into several battalions
of about 800 soldiers each.
Historically, brigades were
based farther from the front lines
and often include support staff,
while the battalions are usually
in closer contact with the enemy.
In the past decade, the necessities of war propelled women into
jobs such as medics and intelligence officers, and they were
sometimes attached — but not

formally assigned — to battalions.
So while a woman couldn’t go out
on patrol, she could fly the helicopter supporting the unit.
The officials said the new rules
will allow women to work in those
jobs at the battalion level.
“We believe that it’s very
important to explore ways to offer
more opportunities to women in
the military,” Pentagon press secretary George Little said Thursday. “This review has been thorough and extensive,” with input
from all branches of the military.
Little said that even after the
new policy takes effect, the Pentagon will continue to search for
ways to open up additional positions to women in the military.

THREE CANADIAN FAMILY members trying to cross the Pacific in a

“adrift with no hope of survival” hundreds of miles from Hawaii.
A father, his 9-year-old son and one

ran into strong wind that snapped their
mast and choppy water that overheated their engine.
They contacted the Coast Guard,

Nearly 33 percent of adults who

That was up from about 23 percent
in 2000, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.
The report found more women got
that advice than men.
Diabetics were likely to get the
advice, but cancer patients were not.
Most surprising, in 2000, only 15
percent of those 85 and olderwere told
by doctors to exercise. By 2010, almost
30 percent got that recommendation.

with a fortune worth about $1.5 million
back in 1993, was captured in rural
Missouri, where he worked as a cable
guy and was raising a son, who apparently knew nothing of the heist.
After nearly two decades as a fugitive, he was arrested Wednesday in an
apartment in the tiny town of Ozark.
Maher is accused of driving off
while a fellow security guard made a
delivery to a bank in Suffolk, England.
Police were led by a tip to Maher,
who was being held Thursday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on
immigration and weapons violations.

MEXICAN TROOPS HAVE made a
historic seizure of 15 tons of pure
methamphetamine in the western state
of Jalisco, an amount equivalent to half
of all meth seizures worldwide in 2009.
The sheer scale of the bust
announced late Wednesday drew
expressions of amazement from meth
experts. The haul could have supplied
13 million doses worth more than
$4 billion on U.S. streets.
“This could potentially put a huge
dent in the supply chain in the U.S.,”
said U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman Rusty Payne.
“When we’re taking this much out of
the supply chain, it’s a huge deal.”

PORT ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D;
Camille Frazier is a fighter.
Frazier,
who
was
diagnosed
with cancer
for the second time in
five years,
thinks she
is winning. Frazier
The Port
Angeles wife, mother,
grandmother and para-educator underwent a double
mastectomy to battle an
aggressive form of breast
cancer Feb. 3.

Long, hard battle
Just getting to the point
where she could have the
surgery was a long, hard
battle that required her to
search out new forms of
radiation therapy and try
unorthodox chemotherapy.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sit here in amazement
of where I started and
where I am at this moment,
it is absolutely miraculous

that I am tumor free,â&#x20AC;? Frazier, 49, said on her website,
http://camillefrazier.weebly.com.
She and her family will
get some help this weekend
in the form of the third
annual Port Angeles High
School Talent Show.
Twenty-one acts will
take the stage at 7 p.m.
today at the Port Angeles
High School auditorium to
raise funds to help Frazier
pay her soaring medical
expenses.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m lucky I have insurance, but even with it, the
bills are crazy high,â&#x20AC;? Frazier said.
Tickets for the talent
show cost $8 for adults, $5
for children ages 5 to 12, or
$20 for a family of four.
Doors open at 6 p.m. for
a silent auction of 56 items
donated by local businesses.
Frazier was in California, where she had the surgery, on Thursday, and it
was unknown if she would
be able to return home in
time for the fundraiser, Port
Angeles School District

spokeswoman Tina SmithOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara said Thursday.
Frazier has worked as a
classroom aide in â&#x20AC;&#x153;medically fragileâ&#x20AC;? special-education classes at Jefferson
Elementary and Stevens
Middle schools since 2007.
She has been married to
John Frazier for 23 years.
They have four children
and a 4-year-old granddaughter.
Mariah, 17, is a junior at
Port Angeles High School,
Sierra works as a para-educator at Port Angeles High
School, Rylan lives and
works in Port Angeles, and
Ross, 30, lives in Seattle.
Frazier has been through
virtually every kind of cancer therapy there is and
finally has hope that she is
gaining the upper hand in
her battle for life.
In January 2011, she
thought she had won her
battle against breast cancer
without having to resort to
a mastectomy.
Frazier had nothing but
praise for local cancer care
centers, where she had

received the treatment that
put her cancer into remission in 2006.
However, cancer wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
done with her.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;It came back with a
vengeance,â&#x20AC;? Frazier said.
She
began
having
renewed symptoms in the
first month of 2011, but the
cancer wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t diagnosed
until June, she said.

Growing rapidly
Frazier was told her cancer had returned, was growing rapidly and would
require a double mastectomy.
Before starting a new
round of chemotherapy to
prepare for the mastectomy,
she took a trip to her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in California.
There, at a beauty salon
while talking to another
customer, she learned of a
new treatment at a local
clinic that was showing
promise.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do things in California they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do here,â&#x20AC;?
Frazier said.
At the time, Frazier

thought the treatment she
had scheduled would be sufficient, but she kept the
contact information â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just
in case.
When she returned
home to prepare for the surgery, she was told the tumor
had spread, attached itself
to her chest wall and was
inoperable.
Frazier, a self-described
fighter with no intention of
giving in to the cancer, said
she switched her chemotherapy regimen three
times, but nothing was
working.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on my
own with this,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she said.
So she checked into California-based Cancer Care
Clinics, associated with the
University of California,
Los Angeles Oncology
Research Network, where
she initially was given a 40
percent to 50 percent
chance of beating the cancer.
Frazierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
treatment
includes a combination of
three traditional cancer
therapies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; radiation,

hyperthermia and chemotherapy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which, when
used together, her doctors
in California believe can be
more effective.
The combined treatment
is so new it is available at
only three clinics in the
U.S., she said.
There was no guarantee
the therapy would work,
Frazier said.

Better chances
After two weeks, her doctor told her the cancer was
responding and that her
chances had increased to 80
percent or 90 percent.
She returned to chemotherapy and added intravenous vitamin C therapy.
The tumor continued
shrinking, and last week,
she returned to California
for surgery.
The surgery is thought
to be successful at this
point, Smith-Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara said.

basics of engineering,

Wednesday to a Popsicle stick bridge being built for a bridge-building

PORT ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D;
Three months of planning
and construction, hundreds
of Popsicle sticks and untold
hours of work will end with
the sound of splintering
wood Saturday at the Popsicle Stick Bridge Competition in Seattle as five Port
Angeles High School students test the bridges they
designed and built.
At stake is a $500 scholarship and defending the
schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tradition of consistently placing in the top
three for the past 13 years.
Port Angeles has a reputation of being a school to
beat at the competition,
said Derek Johnson, adviser
and physics instructor.
Strength and beauty

3rd strongest
Last year, Port Angeles
student Rachel Lindquistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
bridge was third-strongest
in the state and carried 758
pounds, he said.
Bridges in the contest,
which weigh less than a
pound, have held nearly
1,000 pounds of weight on a
4-inch-by-4-inch area before
breaking.
This year, 18-year-old
senior Lance Alderson,
whose bridge took fourth
place just behind Lindquist,
is making one last attempt

The bridges will be displayed, judged for aesthetic
value, then tested with a
hydraulic testing machine
at the Museum of Flight in
Seattle.
Civil engineers Chris
Hartman of Zenovic & Associates; Gene Unger, a former Clallam County engineer; and Joe Donisi,
Clallam County assistant
engineer, have visited the
school once a week since
November to mentor students interested in building
bridges for the contest and
will choose three of the five

competition this weekend in Seattle.
bridges to enter in the contest.
The other two bridges
from Port Angeles will be
tested but will not be a part
of the official contest.

Scholarship awarded
The top Port Angeles
bridge builder will get a
$500 college scholarship
funded by a consortium of
Port Angeles-area engineers.
Each year, the rules for
height, length and required
design elements change,

just as conditions change
from one project to another,
so a winning bridge from
one year cannot return to
win again.
Some students excel at
the design phase, others in
construction, Unger said.
A well-designed bridge
can be ruined with poor
construction, while a lesser
design can be strong with
solid construction, the engineers said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;One bad joint, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
done,â&#x20AC;? Unger said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a blend of technical
and artistic natures,â&#x20AC;?

Hartman said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to mirror the
real-world design process.
The public is not happy if
they have a strong bridge,
but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ugly,â&#x20AC;? Unger said.

Lessons learned

Early testing was successful, giving the first-year
entrant encouragement.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;One truss held 120
pounds,â&#x20AC;? Bozich said.
However, a badly placed
support structure took all
the weight off her solid
trusses, and Wednesday,
Bozich said she will be
happy if the bridge holds a
mere 120 to 150 pounds of
pressure before it breaks.
Fellow freshman James
Gallagher, 13, also had difficulties with his first bridge
effort.
Gallagher said he tried
to keep his design simple,
but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t execute as well
in reality as it did on paper.
He guessed his bridge
would hold less than 120
pounds.
Many of the students
were working on their second or third design.
The first design is often
more of a fantasy, sometimes overly complicated or
fancy, then reality sets in,
Gallagher said.
Freshman Jeremy Choe,
15, had to start from scratch
after completing his first
bridge, which was solid but
failed to meet height guidelines.
His second design, which
still needed to lose 6 grams
of weight to meet the rules,
was being glued together
with barely 72 hours
remaining before the competition.

First-year bridge builders learned some hard lessons.

15, put together a solid________

The decision to close the
beaches was made after a

about too much unauthorized use of the beaches, which
previously required either
individual or group permits
for access.

A notice in the tribeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

said a motion was made to
rescind all existing passes
and schedule a working session to reform the pass policy.
Also, signs will be posted

SEATTLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The social

to supervise a visit between
Josh Powell and his young
sons said Powell told his
oldest boy he had a â&#x20AC;&#x153;surpriseâ&#x20AC;? for him moments
before attacking and killing
the children.
Elizabeth Griffin-Hall
said in an interview to air

that Powell slammed the
door on her after he had the
children inside the house
Sunday.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Big surpriseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
Hall said she banged on
the door to try to get inside
and heard Powell tell
7-year-old Charlie: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got

also heard 5-year-old

Josh Powell lost custody
of the boys last fall, after his
father, with whom they
then lived, was arrested in
a child pornography and

Griffin-Hall said Charlie
and Braden loved being
with their father.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of them said what
he wanted to do was go
home and live with his
daddy,â&#x20AC;? she told ABC, adding that the boys would
â&#x20AC;&#x153;light upâ&#x20AC;? during visits with
Josh Powell.
After he got the boys
inside and locked the door,
Griffin-Hall called 9-1-1

there is a Northern Resident Community that centers around northern British Columbia; a Transient

Pot: Initiative automatically will go to the ballot
CONTINUED FROM A1
Rep. Sam Hunt, D-Olympia, who chairs the House
State Government & Tribal
Affairs Committee that was
considering the initiative,
said the Legislature would
not act on it, meaning it will
instead
automatically
appear on the November
ballot.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will have more
opportunities on the campaign trail this year to discuss this issue,â&#x20AC;? Hunt said.

Because the measure
proposes new taxes on marijuana production and consumption, the Legislature
would need a two-thirds
majority to pass it.

Initiative certified
The initiative was certified by the Secretary of
Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office last month
after pro-legalization campaigners turned in more
than the 241,153 necessary
valid signatures.

VOT E D B E S T M E X I C A N R E S TAU R A N T

Speaking at a joint
House and Senate work
session Thursday, backers
of the measure said it would
allow the state to regulate
marijuana use, raise money
through taxes on marijuana
and squeeze the powerful
drug cartels controlling the
black market.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Locking people up and
putting handcuffs on them
is not the way to resolve our
societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s issues with regard
to marijuana,â&#x20AC;? said John
McKay, a former U.S. attor-

ney for Seattle who has
become an outspoken advocate for marijuana legalization.
Charles Mandigo, the
former head of the Seattle
FBI office, also spoke in
favor of the measure.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is the money, not the
drugs, that drive these
criminal organizations and
street gangs,â&#x20AC;? Mandigo said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take away the money,
and you take away the
criminal element.â&#x20AC;?

McKay and Mandigo
conceded that getting criminals out of the marijuana
business would take time.

Fears of teen use
Opponents said legalization would likely increase
marijuana use by teenagers.
They argued that a better alternative would be
pressuring the federal government to change marijuanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designation from a

Schedule One to a Schedule
Two drug, meaning it would
still be classified as having
a high potential for abuse
but also would be recognized as having legitimate
medical uses.

Floating home moored at Point Hudson
BY JEFF CHEW
PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT TOWNSEND —
A 400,000-pound floating
home was moored in Point
Hudson Marina early
Thursday morning after it
was painstakingly moved
from the shipyard where it
was built.
The 2,000-square-foot
luxury floating home — the
first
built
by
Port
Townsend’s Little & Little
Construction — is now
awaiting finishing touches
to its interior before it is
towed east to Seattle’s Lake
Union.
Under a full moon
Wednesday night, Carlsborg-based Monroe House
Moving’s crew raced to beat
the incoming tide, successfully moving the structure
into the mud flats of Port
Townsend Bay.
From its Port of Port
Townsend shipyard construction site, the home was
slowly rolled, inch by inch
and foot by foot, about 150
yards into the bay during
outgoing tides Tuesday and
Wednesday nights.

Crowds of between 50
and 100 spectators, from
babies to seniors, gathered
on both sides of the home as
it was moved down to the
shoreline while the tide
went out.

Specially designed
The moving crew used a
specially designed 48-wheel
system brought in by D.B.
Davis LLC of Everett.
The system, mounted on
steel beams under the
home’s 6-foot-thick concrete
float encasing a 500-pound
Styrofoam block, allowed it
to move at a safe crawl.
Trucks equipped with
winches pulled the home
forward, while small tractors were used to push the
home into the final stretch
of mud flat.
The moving crew built
two steel ramps on wooden
blocks down the beach to
the high-tide line.
Each ramp accommodated a row of dual tire rollers, 24 to each side.
As the rolling structure
reached the mud flat, the
crew used a forklift to place

Marina, where it was
moored near the marina’s
mouth.
John Nesset’s Vessel
Assist towed the home at
about 5 a.m. Thursday
using two tugboats.
It was towed to Point
Hudson Marina, where it
was moored in one of the
larger slips near the marina’s entrance.
Bob Little, president of
Little & Little Construction
who stayed aboard the
home Wednesday night and
early Thursday with his
son, Gage, and grandson,

PORT TOWNSEND —
The state Parks and Recreation Commission delayed
action Thursday on a proposed resolution that would
give the Port Townsend Public Development Authority
ownership and management
of Fort Worden State Park as
a Lifelong Learning Center.
“That was a very recent
proposal, and the commission isn’t going to consider
that today,” said State Parks
spokeswoman
Virginia
Painter.
Instead, a public hearing
on the proposal to transfer

ownership and management
of Fort Worden to the PDA,
and possible action, is
planned at the commission’s
next meeting at 9 a.m.
March 29 at Fort Worden
State Park, Painter said.
PDA ownership would
open financing avenues with
banks and other partners
that could help pay for the
park’s continued operation,
maintenance and management and offers greater
financial incentives than a
long-term lease, Dave Robison, PDA interim director,
has said.
Robison and PDA board
Chairwoman Cindy Hill Finnie attended the commission

meeting Thursday in Tumwater.
A special Fort Worden
PDA board meeting open to
the public has been called for
8:30 a.m. today in Building
204 at Fort Worden State
Park to discuss the proposal
further.
Robison will talk about
the Fort Worden PDA proposal at a Jefferson County
Chamber of Commerce luncheon at noon Monday at the
Elks Lodge, 555 Otto St. in
Port Townsend.
Under the proposal, Fort
Worden would remain a
park but would no longer be
called a state park.
Painter earlier this week

said if the PDA completes a
business plan showing that
it can successfully fund the
park and if it agrees to certain deed restrictions and
conditions as required by the
commission, Fort Worden
State Park could be transferred to the PDA to operate
by July 1, 2013.

Business plan
Robison said the PDA
already has a detailed business plan in development.
A public development
authority is an independent
government entity, legally
independent from the jurisdiction that created it — in

this case, the city of Port
Townsend.
Examples of PDAs in
Washington state are the
Pike Place Market and the
Seattle Art Museum.
The Port Townsend PDA
proposal was prompted by
Kate Burke losing the job
she has held since 2002 as
manager of Fort Worden,
Fort Townsend and the
Rothschild House state
parks.
Burke was displaced by a
new director, Allison Alderman, a 21-year State Parks
employee who “bumped”
Burke because of her greater
seniority after losing her job
as region operations man-

ager in the State Parks
Northwest Region Office.
Robison said the PDA
board would consider bringing Burke onboard for her
institutional knowledge.
He said Burke was
instrumental in the eightyear process that led to the
establishment of the park as
a lifelong learning center,
which would provide outdoor
space for recreational and
educational opportunities
and a variety of programs
and classes.

TAX TIME CASH COMES FROM UNEXPECTED SOURCE:

TRADING IN YOUR OLD CAR

T

ax time can mean a much-needed cash “bonus” for many people. But for some
people, like business owners, it can mean the opposite. Many business owners
feel the pinch around tax time because in good times or bad Uncle Sam always
gets his piece of the pie.
Some local business owners look for creative, ethical ways to deal with tax time
trauma. Local Car Dealer Mark Ostroot, from Price SuperStore is one of the most
innovative when it comes to finding solutions that benefit his customers at the
same time. Tax time is no different.
“It’s tax time and my accountant said I need to reduce my tax burden. So I’m going to
OVER PAY for your old car so I can stock my lot with traded in vehicles,” said Mark
Ostroot, General Manager of Price SuperStore.

“Here’s my thought: I’d rather give money to my customers than give it to the
government,” exclaimed Ostroot. “So, if I over pay for trades now, I may lower my
tax burden in the future.”
Ostroot continues, “Here’s the deal, I’m willing to pay you up to $4,297.00 more for
your old car than it’s actually worth, no matter where you bought the car, just to
satisfy my accountant.”
“I’m calling this my EZ Trade Tax Time Rewards Program. You’ve probably filed an
EZ form in the past to get your cash back faster. Well, I’m using my EZ Trade Program
to make it simple for you to trade in the old car you hate driving and get a tax time
reward of up to $4,297.00 more than it’s actually worth.”

THE EZ WAY TO GET A
FATTER RETURN

TAX TIME MAKES CREDIT
APPROVAL EZ (ER)

“If you don’t have a trade-in, to help you
minimize the tax season, I’ll double your tax
refund up to $2,500.00, so you can own the
nicer, newer car you’ve always wanted today,”
explained Ostroot.

“For The People® Credit Approval Process is perfect if you
have had credit problems in the past,” said Ostroot. “Using
my program and your refund together could actually make it
easier for you to get approved this month!”

Ostroot told us that he doesn’t care where or
when you bought the car you trade in. He also
doesn’t care whether it’s a lease or a loan or how
many payments you have left. He wants to buy
as many vehicles as he can from local residents
and he is willing to pay more than the vehicle
is actually worth because of the effect it could
have on his tax liability down the road.

Price SuperStore has a special process to work with
customers who have credit challenges They work with
many lenders who specialize in approving customers with
below average credit scores and have specially trained staff
members who know how to put the best deal together in
these more challenging financial situations. This means that
Price SuperStore is able to help some people who have been
turned down at other dealerships actually drive the nicer,
newer car they need and want.

Customers will get up to $4,297.00 more for
any car they bring in, which can make your
tax time returns much greater than they would
be otherwise. Ostroot asks, “What will you buy
with all the extra money?”

DON’T BE DEPENDENT ON DEDUCTIONS

THERE IS A TAX TIME
REWARD DEADLINE

and we plan on coming as close to that goal as we possibly
can.”
“We help a lot of people with tough credit situations every
single month. If there’s a way to get you approved, we’re
going to go to the ends of the earth to find it. We don’t give
up here. It’s our mission to help people drive a nicer, newer
car. I don’t believe anyone should drive a car they hate,”
Ostroot boasted.

Ostroot revealed to us that his customers don’t have to be dependent on deductions. Customers who take advantage of his
EZ Trade Tax Time Rewards Program will get their tax time reward directly from the dealership even before most people
see a dollar from the government.
Price SuperStore will pay $4,297.00 more for your old car than it’s actually worth:

Overpaying for trade-ins will create additional expense for the dealership thereby reducing their future tax liability, while at
the same time helping buyers get a great deal on a nicer, newer car today.
Plus, Price SuperStore will be doubling tax refunds up to $2,500.00 if you don’t have a trade, which can be applied as a
down payment on a nicer, newer car. This is perfect for anyone who wants to lower their monthly payments and can also
help credit challenged customers get approved when they previously could not get they financing they need to drive a nicer,
newer car.

Purchase at retail price over $9999, rebates reassigned to dealership, complete details posted at dealership, not compatible with other offers or discounts. On Approval of Credit. All Sales are plus tax, license and a negotiable $150 documentation fee. See Dealer for details. Ad expires 2/29/12.

The deadline for taking advantage of Ostroot’s

On the stump about logging’s remains
BY

MITCH LUCKETT

“I EXPECT YOU’LL want to
get rid of that,
eh?” Bill, the
excavator operator said,
pointing at a
Douglas-fir
stump approximately 6 feet
tall and 4 feet
in diameter.
“Please
Luckett
leave it. I’m
fond of my oldgrowth stumps,” I said, “and I’m
particularly fond of Roberto —
that one there.”
“Roberto?”
I had hired Bill to clear and
level an area so I could expand
my garden plot out of the woods
surrounding my home in South
Jefferson County, near the Duckabush River.
My property was clearcut in
the early 1930s.

POINT OF VIEW
Now, everywhere you look,
old-growth stumps, like cloaked
druids with mossy topknots,
punctuate the understory of my
mature, second-growth conifer
forest
Increasing my garden space
was a tough choice.
My forest feeds my soul.
I strive to keep my carbon
footprint light upon the land.
But I also want to feed my
body healthy food, mostly fresh
fruits and vegetables, mostly
organic.
And in these troubled financial times, my homegrown crops
keep my grocery bill in sync with
my pocketbook.
As a measure of compensation
to Mother Nature, prior to excavation I dug up dozens of wild
huckleberry and rhododendrons
and planted them elsewhere.

Kahlil Gibran, the LebaneseAmerican poet, wrote:
“If I had two loaves of bread, I
would sell one to buy hyacinth,
for it will feed my soul.”
I say: If I had two hyacinths, I
would sell one to buy zucchini.
“You gave that stump a name
like ‘Roberto’?” Bill said, a ghost
of a smile tickling the corners of
his mouth.
“Why not Stumpy? Or
Grumpy? Or maybe, Lumpy”?
“This isn’t one of the seven
dwarfs,” I said.
“I call it Roberto after a
skilled and compassionate nurse
who tended to me in a veterans
hospital many years ago after I
had suffered head trauma.”
Bill scrutinized the stump.
“On a symbolic level,” I said,
“this stump used to be a whole
tree that also suffered a trauma,
yet it still has something to contribute.
“As a nurse stump, it’s an
excellent caregiver for both

Tales from
the kitchen table
THIS IS A really old story, but
let me tell you anyway.
When I was first married, my
mother-in-law sat down at her
kitchen table and told me about
the day she went to confession
and told the priest that she and
her husband were using birth
control.
She had several young chil- Gail
dren, times were Collins
difficult —
really, she could
have produced a
list of reasons
longer than
your arm.
“You’re no
better than a
whore on the
street,” said the
priest.
This was, as I said, a long time
ago. It’s just an explanation of
why the bishops are not the only
Roman Catholics who are touchy
about the issue of contraception.
These days, parish priests tend
to be much less judgmental about
parishioners who are on the pill
— the military was not the first
institution in this country to
make use of the “don’t ask, don’t
tell” system.
“In most parishes in the
United States, we don’t find them
preaching about contraception,”
said Jon O’Brien of Catholics for
Choice. “And it’s not as though in
the Mass you have a questionand-answer period.”
You have heard, I’m sure, that
the Catholic bishops are in an
uproar over an Obama administration rule that would require
Catholic universities and hospitals to cover contraceptives in
their health care plans.
The Republican presidential
candidates are roaring right
behind.
Mitt Romney claimed the
White House was trying to
“impose a secular vision on Americans who believe that they
should not have their religious
freedom taken away.”

Catholic doctrine prohibits
women from using pills, condoms
or any other form of artificial contraception.
A much-quoted study by the
Guttmacher Institute found that
virtually all sexually active Catholic women of childbearing age
have violated the rule at one point
or another, and that more than
two-thirds do so consistently.
Here is the bishops’ response
to that factoid:
“If a survey found that 98 percent of people had lied, cheated on
their taxes, or had sex outside of
marriage, would the government
claim it can force everyone to do
so?”
OK. Moving right along.
The church is not a democracy
and majority opinion really
doesn’t matter. Catholic dogma
holds that artificial contraception
is against the law of God.
The bishops have the right —
a right guaranteed under the
First Amendment — to preach
that doctrine to the faithful.
They have a right to preach it
to everybody. Take out ads. Pass
out leaflets. Put up billboards in
the front yard.
The problem here is that
they’re trying to get the government to do their work for them.
They’ve lost the war at home,
and they’re now demanding help
from the outside.
And they don’t seem in the
mood to compromise.
Church leaders told The
National Catholic Register that
they regarded any deal that
would allow them to avoid paying
for contraceptives while directing
their employees to other places
where they could find the coverage as a nonstarter.
This new rule on contraceptive
coverage is part of the health care
reform law, which was designed to
finally turn the United States into
a country where everyone has
basic health coverage.
In a sane world, the government would be running the whole
health care plan, the employers

would be off the hook entirely and
we would not be having this fight
at all.
But members of Congress —
including many of the very same
people who are howling and rending their garments over the bishops’ plight — deemed the current
patchwork system untouchable.
The churches themselves don’t
have to provide contraceptive coverage. Neither do organizations
that are closely tied to a religion’s
doctrinal mission.
We are talking about places
like hospitals and universities
that rely heavily on government
money and hire people from outside the faith.
We are arguing about whether
women who do not agree with the
church position, or who are often
not even Catholic, should be
denied health care coverage that
everyone else gets because their
employer has a religious objection
to it.
If so, what happens if an
employer belongs to a religion
that forbids certain types of blood
transfusions?
Or disapproves of any medical
intervention to interfere with the
working of God on the human
body?
Organized religion thrives in
this country, so the system we’ve
worked out seems to be serving it
pretty well.
Religions don’t get to force
their particular dogma on the
larger public.
The government, in return,
protects the right of every religion
to make its case heard.
The bishops should have at it.
I wouldn’t try the argument
that the priest used on my
mother-in-law, but there’s always
a billboard on the front lawn.

Obama bundlers:
Super PAC-men
THE WHITE HOUSE didn’t
blow a dog whistle for deep-pocketed liberal donors on Monday.
No, the administration whipped
out a supersized vuvuzela.
Blaring message: Let loose the
campaign finance-bundling hounds
of super PAC war.
President
Barack Obama’s
campaign man- Michelle
Malkin
ager, Jim Messina, who served
as White House
deputy chief of
staff for operations before
assuming 2012
re-election
duties,
announced the
super PAC
super-flip-flop in
a mass e-mail to supporters and a
blog post published on the leftwing Huffington Post website.
In a related conference call to
major campaign finance bundlers,
Messina encouraged these highdollar donors to start funding Priorities USA Action.
That’s the Democratic super
PAC founded by former White
House staffers Bill Burton and
Sean Sweeney.
Super PACs and campaigns are
barred from coordinating with each
other.
Nevertheless, Messina said that
“senior campaign officials as well
as some White House and Cabinet
officials will attend and speak at
Priorities USA fundraising events.”
Of course, they “won’t be soliciting contributions.”
Wink-wink, nudge-nudge.
This brazen about-face for Team
Obama is a goldmine of campaign
lies, contortions and epic hypocrisy.
Let us count the ways:
■ A bundle of contradictions.
“Bundling” is the rustling up of
aggregate contributions from
friends, business associates and
employees, a practice to circumvent
individual donation limits that
Obama has long condemned.
When he announced his presidential intentions in 2007, candidate Obama decried “the cynics,

the lobbyists, the special interests
who’ve turned our government into
a game only they can afford to
play.”
He indignantly singled out “the
best bundlers” who get the “greatest access” to power.
Last week, Obama acknowledged raising at least $74 million
through his team of big-time bundlers who have been showered with
access, tax dollars and plum
patronage positions.
This elite group of Hollywood
celebrities (such as open-borders
actress Eva Longoria), political cronies (such as Chicago bagman
Louis “The Vacuum” Susman) and
politically correct businessmen
(such as bankrupt Solyndra investor George Kaiser) now totals a
whopping 445 gold-card members.
■ The roar of the revolving door.
In his Monday announcement,
Messina bragged about how the
White House has enacted “sweeping” reforms to “close the revolving
door between government and lobbyists.”
In truth, the administration has
widened the carousel and removed
the brakes.
Several first-time 2012 bundlers
already have snagged administration posts:
■ Norma Lee Funger, of
Potomac, Md., who raised between
$50,000 and $100,000 for Obama,
was appointed last month to the
board of trustees of the John F.
Kennedy Center for the Performing
Arts.
■ Glenn S. Gerstell, of Washington, D.C., who bundled the same
amount, was appointed to the
National Infrastructure Advisory
Commission last fall.
■ Richard Binder, of Bethesda,
Md., another $50,000 to $100,000
bundler, was appointed to the Advisory Group on Prevention, Health
Promotion, and Integrative and
Public Health last spring.
And note: The most transparent
administration ever still refuses to
disclose recusal orders involving
the nearly 100 lobbyists and ex-lobbyists on its payroll.
■ Super PAC super-hypocrisy.
“Super PACs” are federal politi-

cal action committees that only
make independent expenditures in
support of, or in opposition to, candidates.
Their birth and growth were
fueled indirectly by the Supreme
Court’s Citizens United v. Federal
Election Commission (FEC) ruling
in 2010.
The decision overturned severe
campaign finance restrictions that
essentially criminalized certain
forms of political speech.
As Chief Justice John Roberts
put it during oral arguments:
“We don’t put our First Amendment rights in the hands of FEC
bureaucrats.”
Until this week, the Obama
administration vehemently condemned the Citizens United decision and vowed to eschew super
PACs.
The entities are a “threat to our
democracy,” Obama railed two
years ago. The ruling would “open
the floodgates for special interests,”
he warned.
And last July, Obama campaign
press secretary Ben LaBolt kept
talking the anti-super PAC talk.
“Neither the president nor his
campaign staff or aides will fundraise for super PACs,” he asserted.
Now?
President Obama and his wife
won’t fundraise for the democracyundermining super PACs.
But countless other Cabinet
members and advisers, partying
with Obama bundlers gone wild,
will.
In 2008, Obama lambasted rival
Democratic presidential candidate
John Edwards for criticizing independent expenditures while raking
in big PAC bucks:
“So you can’t say yesterday you
don’t believe in them, and today
you have three quarters of a million
dollars being spent on you. You
can’t just talk the talk.”
Obama 2012 campaign motto:
Empty talk? Yes, we can!

Senate Democrats
tout jobs agenda
Rather than focus on
recruiting companies to
Washington, the commission’s plan calls for attempting to grow companies from
within the state.
“The fact that these legislative pieces have found
alignment is very encouraging,” said Egils Milbergs,
executive director of the
commission.
“These are initiatives
that are oriented to a longterm strategy.”
Some of the bills are targeted at easing regulations
for business.
One would allow companies to file most paperwork
with state agencies electronically.
Another makes it harder
for agencies to tack on violations
to
companies
already facing penalties.
Others are focused on
rewarding success.
One bill would offer tax
incentives for companies
that make more money
after forming industry
trade groups for tasks
including product marketing, quality control and
worker training.

BY JONATHAN KAMINSKY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OLYMPIA — Senate
Democrats are promoting a
package of bills aimed at
bringing more skilled jobs
to the state.
Speaking at a news conference Tuesday, two lawmakers highlighted a wide
swath of proposed legislation encompassing everything from helping military
spouses find work to
attracting investment in
aerospace technology.
“There’s no silver bullet
to do an economic development,” said Sen. Derek
Kilmer, D-Gig Harbor.
“It’s a lot more like silver
buckshot.”

Training workforce
Broadly, the measures
are intended to help train
the state’s workforce,
improve infrastructure and
promote investment and
entrepreneurship — priorities identified by the state’s
Economic
Development
Commission in a 2009
report.

Sen. Jim Kastama,
D-Puyallup, emphasized
that a well-trained labor
force is essential for Washington to compete for highpaying jobs.
“We don’t have a jobs
shortage in Washington
state,” Kastama said.
“We have a skills shortage.”

Unfilled jobs
The state’s Employment
Security
Department
reported that there were
60,000 unfilled jobs — both
skilled and unskilled — in
Washington state last April.
All of the bills highlighted Tuesday are still
alive, and many stand a
good chance of being passed
into law, said Kilmer.
“As we laid out in our
own ‘Roadmap to Growth’
jobs plan earlier this year,
Senate Republicans support proposals that will create stability and predictability and reduce costs for
Washington’s employers,”
Sen. Janea Holmquist Newbry, R-Moses Lake, said in
an email.

The size of the financial

Days of wine and chocolate
Tour offers tempting tastes
of decadence across Peninsula
BY DIANE URBANI

DE LA

PAZ

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

The time has come again to
fire up your designated driver
and set your pleasure meter.
Awaiting you this weekend and
next are the scent of chocolate,
the golden glow of ciders, and
deep-red hues by the glass.
This is the annual indulgence
known as the Red Wine & Chocolate Tour, and it is one lavish
event. Eight cideries and wineries across the North Olympic
Peninsula open their doors, from
11 a.m. until 5 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday, as well as over
the Presidents Day weekend of
Feb. 18-20. Throughout the selfguided tour, tasting rooms large
and small will tempt visitors
with chocolate truffles, Italianstyle red wines, apple brandy,
raspberry wines and even a cascading chocolate fountain.
To experience it all, you can
opt for the $30 passport, which
covers all participating wineries
and provides you with a commemorative glass. Alternatively,
you can stop in at just a few wineries and pay $5 per visit.

‘Day of luxury’
“With today’s pressures, it’s
nice to have a day of luxury,” said
David Volmut, winemaker at
Wind Rose Cellars in Sequim.
There, visitors may try Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto, Italian
wines made with grapes grown
in Eastern Washington.
And like its sisters across the

Peninsula, this winery will have
sweets for pairing with those
reds. Linda Moats of Sequim’s
Cocoa d’Amici will come to Wind
Rose to serve her hazelnut
crunch, pistachio fig, ginger cinnamon and other chocolates.

Rustic experience
East of Sequim, out in rural
Chimacum, a rustic experience
awaits at Finnriver Farm &
Cidery.
“We’ll have our new release of
raspberry wine fortified with
apple brandy,” began Finnriver
co-owner Crystie Kisler.
“And in the barn, we’ll have
what we call the chocolate chamber,” where visitors may taste
chocolate elixirs from Jennifer
Michele Chocolat.
There will also be brownies
with black currant brandywine,
chocolate-covered blueberries and
raspberries, and of course
Finnriver’s pear and apple ciders.

Fruit wines

KEITH THORPE/PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

Back in Clallam County, raspberry, strawberry and loganberry
wines made with locally grown
fruit flow at Black Diamond Winery, a vineyard in the foothills
south of Port Angeles.
These fruit wines “are very
good with chocolate,” said Black
Diamond co-owner Sharon
Adams.
This two-weekend tour in February is the only opportunity to
visit her tasting room this winter,
since Black Diamond doesn’t

open again till April.
In recent years, Adams added,
Black Diamond Winery has seen
hundreds of visitors the weekends before and after Valentine’s
Day.
“People absolutely love [the
tour],” she said. “They enjoy visiting with each other and comparing notes about what they’re seeing at the different wineries.”

County loggers, I was proud to take
a well-paying job in the northwest
logging industry when I finished
college. During a long stint with
ITT Rayonier, I developed the
company’s northwest forest business
plan and managed its timberlands
operations in Forks before I was
sent east. But the magnificent
forests and rivers of the wild coast
eventually drew me back “home,”
where I helped start Paneltech,
a company that now employs 50
people at the Port of Grays Harbor.

also need to attract more entrepreneurs that create more valueadded jobs. They will need uniquely-skilled people, the kind drawn

The Wild Olympics are
our common ground.
Hood Canal is home to the two largest hatcheries that supply seed to the West
Coast shellfish industry— which directly supports more than 150 local jobs
and many more in related industries such as processing, sales and shipping. By
protecting Olympic Peninsula forest and river watersheds, we ensure clean and
safe water so that shellfish companies can continue to grow and benefit the
economy and ecology of Washington state. These watersheds are also natural
filters for drinking water and vital to a healthy Hood Canal and Puget Sound.
We must do all we can to protect the peninsula forest and river watersheds to
guarantee our inland waters stay clear and sparkling. Today folks in the Wild
Olympics Campaign are coming together to find the best way to do just that—
to find common ground to protect our wild forests and rivers for the clean
water and salmon we need.

The Wild Olympics plan will permanently protect these natural
amenities vital to our economic future. But the plan also shows
great sensitivity toward private property and the commercial timber
base. Most public land considered in the proposal is already off
limits to logging. It gives timber landowners an option to sell
certain lands to the Park, but only if they want to. A healthier
timber industry adding more value locally can contribute toward
the restoration of our area’s economic vitality. But we also need
new companies with new ideas, new value-added
jobs and new sources of raw material. With the
Wild Olympics plan, we can have both.

Catholic Church urges prayer for last-place team
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MONTREAL — It’s
come to this for the Montreal Canadiens: The Catholic church is asking people
to pray for the last-place
team.
The church has placed
an ad in Montreal newspapers in hopes of an eighth-

place finish and a spot in
the playoffs.
The ad shows the Eastern Conference standings
with every team listed
except the Canadiens.
In eighth place, the final
playoff spot, it simply says,
“Let Us Pray.”
Faced with declining

church attendance, the
Archdiocese of Montreal is
known for its clever campaigns to solicit funds each
year.
The one-time ad was
designed by local firm Bos
advertising and appeared
in French-language newspapers Thursday.

The firm said it has long
been considering an ad that
combines Quebec’s two
major religions: Catholicism and the secular passion of hockey.

These
stories
illustrate
for us the
bond of love
between
our Creator
and us.
Each one
emphasizes
the joy in
heaven when one who was
lost is found.
We hunger to be found.
Jesus assured us that
we could be found because
God seeks us even as we
seek God.
Perhaps that is why he
gave us this guarantee:
“Ask, and it will be given
you; seek, and you will find;
knock, and it will be
opened to you. For every
one who asks receives, and
he who seeks finds, and to
him who knocks it will be
opened” (Matthew 7:7-8).
To ask, seek and knock
express a willingness to be
found. This is the opposite
of the children’s game of
hide and seek where the
object is to remain hidden
and apart.
Spiritual community
satisfies the hunger to be
found. But, as described by
Catholic mystic St. John of
the Cross, this community
does not require another
person.
He wrote, “I was sad one
day and went for a walk; I
sat in a field. A rabbit
noticed my condition and
came near. It often does not
take more than that to
help at times — to just be
close to creatures who are
so full of knowing, so full of
love that they don’t chat,
they just gaze with their
marvelous understanding.”
What the rabbit taught
St. John and what the little
girl taught me is that
divine love can always find
us when we have a little
willingness to be found.

SEVERAL YEARS
AGO, long before I was an
ordained minister, I
attended a Holy Week service in a new city. I felt sad
and lonely because I
missed my close friends
whom I had left behind.
At the far end of the
pew from where I sat, there
was a couple with a young
daughter. Suddenly, I
noticed the little girl was
close beside me. She looked
up at me and simply said,
“I am going to sit next to
you.”
I remember nothing else
about that service. But I do
recall that moment when
love and friendship were
shared with me.
This is what we seek
through spiritual community. We seek a way out of
our loneliness and sense of
separation. We hunger to
belong, to fit in. We thirst
for acceptance and encouragement. As the theme

the company that brought photography to the masses more than a century ago.
Founded by George Eastman in
1880, Kodak was known all over the
world for its Brownie and Instamatic
cameras and its yellow-and-red film
boxes. But the company was battered
by Japanese competition in the 1980s,
and was then unable to keep pace
with the shift from film to digital
technology.
The Rochester, N.Y.-based company, which filed for bankruptcy protection last month, said it will phase
out the product lines in the first half
of this year and instead look for other
companies to license its brand for
those products.
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an especially poignant moment
for Kodak.
In 1975, using a new type of electronic sensor invented six years earlier at Bell Labs, a Kodak engineer
named Steven Sasson created the
first digital camera. It was a toastersize prototype capturing black-andwhite images at a resolution of 0.1
megapixels.
Through the 1990s, Kodak spent
some $4 billion developing the photo
technology inside most of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cellphones and digital devices.
But a reluctance to ease its heavy
financial reliance on film allowed
rivals like Canon Inc. and Sony Corp.

The Kodak Easyshare digital camera is going away.
to rush into the fast-emerging digital
arena. The immensely lucrative analog business Kodak worried about
undermining was virtually erased in
a decade by the filmless photography
it invented.
Today, the standalone digital camera faces stiff competition, as smartphone cameras gain broader use.
Kodak owns patents that cover a
number of basic functions in many
smartphone cameras.
The company picked up $27 million in patent-licensing fees in the
first half of 2011. It made about
$1.9 billion from those fees in the previous three years combined.
Kodak sees home photo printers,
high-speed commercial inkjet presses,
workflow software and packaging as

the core of its future business. Since
2005, the company has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into new
lines of inkjet printers. Once the digital camera business is phased out,
Kodak said its consumer business
will focus on printing.
Kodak said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working with its
retailers to ensure an orderly transition. The company will continue to
honor product warranties and provide
technical support for the discontinued
products.
The moves are expected to result
in annual savings of more than
$100 million. The company didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say
how many jobs would be eliminated
as a result of the decision but did say
that it expects to take a charge of $30
million related to separation costs.

BOSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Workers
stashed money away in
their 401(k) retirement
plans at a faster clip last
year but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get an
immediate reward for their
savings strategy. Fidelity
Investments, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
biggest 401(k) administrator, said the average account
balance was essentially
unchanged in 2011 compared with 2010.
The year-end average for
participants in Fidelity
Investments plans was
$69,100, down $300 from
2010, the company said
Thursday.
The average slipped
despite a slight increase in
employee contributions.
The 11.6 million participants in Fidelityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans set
aside an average $5,750
through paycheck deductions, up from $5,680 a year
earlier. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than 8
percent of their annual pay,
on average.
The amount employers
paid in matching contributions also rose slightly,
averaging $3,270 last year.
The increase came as
more companies restored
matches that had been
reduced or suspended during the recession.
But the balance boost

that workers received from
higher contributions was
offset by factors including
investment performance,
and fees paid to manage the
money and administer
plans.
Those fees can be a significant drain on returns
and are one key reason why
changes in account balances donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t match market
performance.
Stocks were volatile in
2011. They rose in the first
half of the year, then tumbled over the summer only
to rally at year-end.
The Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
500 index finished virtually
unchanged but rose 2.1 percent factoring in dividends.
Many 401(k) accountholders invest in foreign as
well as domestic stocks, and
several overseas indexes
tumbled.

Bond
investments
helped offset those losses,
as the Barclays Capital U.S.
Aggregate Bond index rose
7.8 percent.
The average 401(k) balance tracked the yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
bumpy returns.
At midyear, it reached
$72,700, the highest since
Fidelity began tracking balances in 1998.
The average dropped 12
percent over the next three
months, amid growing worries about the global economy and the European debt
crisis.
Those fears eased late in
the year, sparking stocks to
climb and boost the average
account 8 percent in the
fourth quarter.
Typically, about twothirds of annual increases
in 401(k) account balances
are the result of workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
added contributions and
company matches.
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only the final third

sailboat that was in danger
of hitting the rocks on
James Island was rolled
three times in heavy seas
before the superstructure of
the motor lifeboat was
ripped off and three of the
four men aboard went into
the ocean and died.
The fourth crew member

Sol Duc
PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

THE STEELHEAD ARE at or
near their peak, and um, well, so are
the anglers in the crowded but very
fruitful Sol Duc River on the West
End.
The steelhead run, which starts
in January and goes through April,
peaks in February and March and it
seems to be keeping to its normal
script and is currently super-hot.
“I’ve heard that the Sol Duc is
the hottest place to be right now,”
Brian Menkal of Brian’s Sporting
Good and More (360-683-1950) in
Sequim said.
Bob Gooding in Forks, who lives
and works right where the action is,
agrees.
“The Sol Duc has a lot of fish and
they have been decent [in size],”
Gooding of Olympic Sporting Goods
(360-374-6330) in Forks said.
Wild steelhead are still catchand-release until Feb. 16 (this coming Thursday), but that is not stopping anglers from taking photos of
their prized fish and bragging about
the steelie they actually caught.
“In the past week and a half, I
have seen some dandies,” Gooding
said.
“I have seen four to five pictures
of fish over 20 pounds.”
Right now, though, there’s a lot of
pressure on the Sol Duc because of
anglers from Seattle, Tacoma and
other parts of Western Washington
are all coming out to fish for steelhead on the North Olympic Peninsula because of new emergency rules
that stopped all steelhead fishing in
the Puget Sound area.
“It is really crowded out there
[West End] because of the steelhead
rules,” Menkal said.
“There are so many fishing out
there right now; it’s a little crazy.”
New state rules came out late
last week that prohibit steelhead
fishing in all rivers except on the
major rivers in the West End.
Menkal said he talked to Pat
Neal (area fishing guide and Peninsula Daily News columnist) last Friday and Neal told him the Sol Duc
was crowded with anglers.
“He said there were so many people from Seattle out there,” Menkal
said.
“Yeah, it happens every year,”
Gooding said about the extra crowds
from the Seattle and Tacoma areas.
“Out here is the only place you
can keep wild steelhead [during the
season], and it has been catch-andrelease elsewhere,” Gooding said.
“Now that they can’t even catchand-release, more will come out
here.”
That makes perfect sense, according to Gooding.
“If you must go fish, you have to
go where the rivers and the fish are.
The Peninsula has exactly what
they want, the [fishable] rivers and
[lots of] fish.”
The rain the past few days is
helping out for good fishing.
“The water level was getting
quite low out there, but now the fish
are a little less edgy [because of
higher water levels],” Menkal said.
“There’s better water flow.”
Gooding says it’s raining just the
right amount, not too much and not
too little.
“The rivers are very viable to
float and everything,” Gooding said.
If the crowds on Sol Duc are too
much for you, try one of the other
West End rivers.
“Most rivers have fish,” Gooding
said.
“The Bogachial and the Hoh have
been fishing OK. But the Sol Duc is
where most of the fish are.”
Menkal adds: “A few have come
out of the Bogachial.”

tonight.
The Spartans (14-6), second
place in SWL-Evergreen Division, will take on Kalama (11-9)

coach Scott Justus said.
“We will have four players to
board and one will sit back.”

The Kalama player takes off

Tough Whatcom sweeps Pirates
PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

BELLINGHAM — It was fitting that Wednesday’s match-up
between the Peninsula College
Pirates men’s basketball team
and Whatcom Orcas followed
the Super Bowl because it was a
match-up of Super Bowl-proportions.
The NWAACC’s secondranked Orcas were home against
third-ranked Pirates — and the
winner would have the inside
track to the North Division title.
Whatcom won that showdown 88-80.
It was also a preview of two
teams expected to vie for the
NWAACC championship in
March.
The Pirates had a strong first
half, leading 46-39 at the break,
but Whatcom took advantage of
Peninsula foul trouble and
roared back while Pirate post
players DeShaun Freeman and

College
Corey Clement watched much of
the game from the bench.
Freeman eventually fouled
out and Clement managed to
nurse four fouls to the final
buzzer, but the Pirates could not
stay with the hosts down the
stretch, falling by the eight
points.
The Pirates outshot Whatcom 50 percent to 45 percent,
and were almost even from
3-point range (39 percent to 40
percent), but the Orcas capitalized on 80 percent free-throw
shooting to the Pirates’ 56 percent and from a 38-32 rebounding edge as well as a 17-13
turnover edge to account for the
difference in the game.
J.T. Terrell led five Pirates in
double figures with 18, Freeman
and Clement each hit for 14,

Sam Waller 11 and Dudley Ewell
10.
Daniel Sims added a seasonhigh five assists.
The Pirates (8-3 in North
Division, 18-4 overall), slipped
into a tie for third place with

BELLINGHAM — Following
heart-stopping losses to conference-leading Skagit Valley and
Bellevue, the Pirates knew they
were as good as any team in the
North and they needed only a
win at Whatcom on Wednesday
to secure the inside track for
third place and stay in the hunt
for the second-place berth to the
playoffs.
However, Whatcom is a tough

place to win and it was a combination of chilly shooting, lack of
rebounding and some lop-sided
whistles that spelled the Pirates’
demise in the setback.
The Orcas went to the line 18
times, hitting 15 of those, while
Peninsula shot only five free
throws, making only two to provide the difference on the scoreboard.
The Pirates were also unusually cold from beyond the arc,
where they hoisted 14 3s and
made none of them.
The Orcas also outrebounded
the Pirates 39-25.
The Pirates were led by the
18 points of Taylor Larson and
13 from Jesse Ellis, who also led
in rebounds with six, steals with
four and assists with five.
The Peninsula women (7-4,
13-8) slipped to fourth place in
the North. They host winless
Edmonds on Saturday.

SEATTLE — Sue Bird has
long said she hopes to spend her
entire WNBA career playing for
the Seattle Storm.
Her latest multi-year contract with the franchise,
announced on Thursday, brings
that closer to reality.
“With this contract, it puts
me in a position to do that,” Bird
said.

The re-signing of Bird and
backcourt mate Tanisha Wright,
also announced Thursday, keeps
together the longest-tenured
starting backcourt in the WNBA.
The duo has started 117
games together since Seattle
took Wright in the 2005 draft.
More importantly from Seattle’s perspective, the contract
keeps Bird in a Storm uniform
for an 11th season and likely
beyond.

“There are 11 other teams
that would love to have Sue’s
services for one season or more,”
Seattle coach Brian Agler said.
Bird was taken with the No.
1 pick in the 2002 draft and
with fellow No. 1 pick Lauren
Jackson has brought two WNBA
titles to Seattle.
She is regarded as consistently the best point guard in
the league.
Bird is coming off a season

where she led Seattle in scoring
at 14.7 points per game despite
playing through a sore right hip
that required surgery last September to repair the labrum.
Speaking on a conference call
from Russia, where she’s currently playing, Bird said she’s
fully recovered from the hip surgery.
“It’s done now, it’s one less
thing to think about,” Bird said
of the contract.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. —
Twenty months later, Dustin
Johnson finally hit the drive he
wanted at Pebble Beach.
Ten years later, Tiger Woods
must have wondered what kept
him away from the Pebble Beach
National Pro-Am.
On a spectacular day of scenery and scoring, Johnson blasted
a tee shot on the third hole at
Pebble Beach and then pitched in
for eagle from 41 yards in front of
the green. He added another eagle
on his way to a 9-under 63 and a
three-way tie atop the leaderboard Thursday.
Woods was five shots to par out
of the lead, a solid start to his
PGA Tour season.
He had six birdies in a 4-under
68 at Spyglass Hill, the fourthbest score on that course. Spyglass was hardest of the three
courses, though not by much. The
weather was so pure that all three
courses played about one shot
under par.
Charlie Wi was over at Monterey Peninsula and had a shot at
59 without ever knowing it.
Wi was 8 under after a tap-in
birdie on the 13th hole, and
needed only three birdies in the
last five holes. Trouble is, he had

no idea the Shore Course was a
70. He made one more birdie and
had a 9-under 61.
“I was looking at the scorecard
like, ‘What’s the par here?’ I did
not know it was a par 70,” Wi said.
“That 59 never crossed my
mind. Not once.”
Joining them was former U.S.
Amateur Danny Lee, who holed a
bunker shot for eagle at No. 2 and
holed out from the 11th fairway
with a wedge for another eagle to
match Johnson at 9-under 63.
Johnson is turning into his
generation’s “Prince of Pebble.”
He won the AT&T Pebble Beach
National Pro-Am in consecutive
years, and then had a three-shot
lead at Pebble in the U.S. Open
two years ago until he shot 82 in
the final round.
On the third hole of that round,
he hit driver left into the bushes
for a lost ball and made double
bogey.
On Thursday, he smashed a
driver nearly 340 yards over the
trees to just short of the green,
setting up eagle.
Even now, he still thinks about
that tee shot in the U.S. Open.
Walking off the tee, he said to caddie Bobby Brown, “I could have
used that in the U.S. Open.”
“Walking off that hole, I told

Bob, ‘This hole owes me a few
more than just that one.’”
Johnson overpowered the par
5s at Pebble Beach, the secret to
playing that course well.
He had a 6-iron for his second
shot at the par-5 second for an
easy birdie, holed a 65-foot eagle
putt on the sixth hole, got up and
down from the bunker just short
of the 14th for birdie, then cringed
when his 40-foot eagle attempt on
the 18th just turned away.
“I thought it was going in,”
Johnson said. “I was laughing. I
made plenty of putts today.”

Tiger’s short game
Woods made his share, too.
He opened with consecutive
birdies, stuffing his approach on
No. 10 and two-putting for birdie
on the par-5 11th.
He also holed a downhill, 8-foot
birdie putt on the 17th that was
good enough to elicit a small fist
pump, and from behind the par-5
opening hole, hit a flop shot to 7
feet and made that.
One of his two bogeys was
sloppy.
It came on the short par-4
fourth, with a shallow green set
among sand dunes and ice plant
at a diagonal angle.
Instead of going toward the

middle of the green and letting
the slope take the ball to the hole,
Woods went at the flag.
The ball bounced hard over the
green and into a sandy patch of
dunes, in a foot print.
He did well to blast a wedge
some 30 feet past the hole and
had a good two-putt from there
for bogey.
Woods picked up another
birdie on the par-5 seventh for his
68. He played the par 5s in a 3
under.
“I don’t know if it’s a good sign
or a bad sign,” Woods said about
his 68.
“With the scores the way they
are, I thought I could have it
lower than I did. The guys are just
tearing this place apart with no
wind. I’m not too far away from
posting a good number out here.”
His partner, Dallas Cowboys
quarterback Tony Romo, contributed pars on the holes where
Woods made bogey, and Romo had
a birdie on the par-5 14th when
Woods missed the fairway and
had to settle for par. As a team,
they were tied for 25th.
Romo gets to play a forward
tee, but he doesn’t get any shots
with a scratch handicap.

AUSTIN, Texas — As far
as Lance Armstrong is concerned, it’s all over.
The stress, the waiting,
the whispers about whether
he doped during his stellar
cycling career, all of it ended
when — after nearly two
years — federal prosecutors
closed an investigation of
him last week without
bringing any charges.
“I’m happy. I’m glad it’s
behind me,” Armstrong told
The Associated Press on
Thursday in his first inter-

view since prosecutors
announced they were dropping the case.
The seven-time Tour de
France winner said he
remained confident he
would not be indicted, but
admitted the weight of the
long investigation took a
toll on him personally.
“It’s not a pleasant experience. It was difficult at
times,” he said.
“But I was confident that
we would always end up in
this place.”
After speaking with the
AP, Armstrong participated

in a teleconference with
media covering this weekend’s triathlon in Panama
City, Panama, where he is
scheduled to compete.
For the now 40-year-old
Armstrong, the federal government’s decision should
put a stop to any allegations or rumors about performance-enhancing drug
use during his career.
“It’s over,” he said. “I’m
moving on.”
Armstrong maintains he
has never failed a drug test,
but he nonetheless became
the focus of investigators’

attention after former
teammates Floyd Landis
accused him in 2010 of participating in a doping program.
Landis was stripped of
his 2006 Tour title after failing a drug test.
Armstrong won every
Tour from 1999-2005.
A federal grand jury in
Los Angeles looked at
whether a doping program
was established for Armstrong’s team while, at least
part of the time, it received
government sponsorship

from the U.S. Postal Service.
U.S. Attorney Andre
Birotte Jr. announced last
Friday his office had closed
the case but did not give a
reason.
The World Anti-Doping
Agency followed up this
week by urging the U.S.
government to quickly hand
over evidence collected in
the investigation.
Meanwhile, the U.S.
Anti-Doping Agency’s investigation into doping in
cycling is continuing.
When Armstrong’s case

was closed last week,
USADA CEO Travis Tygart
said he looked forward to
obtaining the information
developed during the federal probe.
“I don’t want to get
bogged down with that. I’m
not concerned with that. I’m
not going to worry about
that,” Armstrong said.
Armstrong, who has
been known to attack his
critics in the media and on
Twitter, had only issued a
muted written statement in
response to the end of the
investigation.

“That’s the scary part,
that they have such good
balance,” Justus said.
The Chinooks average
57 points a game and give
up just 46.
“That concerns me
because we average only 45
points a game,” Justus said.
The Chinooks could have
won the SWL-Evergreen
Division this year, Justus
said.
The key is to slow
Kalama down, Justus said.
“If we can make them
play a half-court game, we
have a chance,” Justus said.
“We’ll see what our
matchup zone will do to
them.”
On the injury front,
there is good news and bad
news for the Spartans.
The good news is that
star player Braden Decker
will be back and close to full
force after missing a couple
of games last week because
of an injured big toe.

“Braden has looked good
in practice and I think he’s
ready to go,” Justus said.
Decker is the top
defender on the team and is
a third of the offense.
Justus tried to rest
Decker at times this week
in practice.
“He got angry about
that, and so I let him go
[run in practice],” Justus
said.
Decker played 3.5 minutes of a must-win game
against Rainier on Saturday and he responded with
five points, two rebounds
and two steals.
The Spartans won that
game 47-30.
‘We played a really,
really good game at Rainier,” Justus said. “We probably had our best defensive
effort of the year.”
Just as Decker’s news
gets better, the news gets
worse for point guard Jonah
Penn, who has a bad shoulder.
A few games ago, Penn

went diving for a looser ball
and skidded into the bleachers, hurting his left shoulder.
“He has trouble reaching
up with his left arm,” Justus said.
“That could hurt us
because he runs the show
for us.”

SHANE MITTS

Steve Wyman and Lorna Delaney caught this 13-pound hatchery
steelhead on the Sol Duc River recently with the help of the It’s Fish On
Guide Service.
After next spring, no
hatchery steelhead will be
released into the Sol Duc
River, which will be the first
wild steelhead management zone formally established in the state, said Ron
Warren, regional fish program manager for WDFW.
Snider Creek is a tributary to the Sol Duc River in
Clallam County.
Wild management zones,
also known as wild stock
gene banks, are designed to
preserve key populations of
wild fish by minimizing
interactions with hatcheryproduced fish, Warren said.
Research has shown
that hatchery fish are often
less genetically diverse and
can impact wild stocks
through interbreeding or
competition for food or habitat.
WDFW is also looking to
identify other streams that
could be candidates for wild
management zones, Warren
said.
That effort includes
working with an advisory
group to identify specific
streams in the Puget Sound
region.
“Establishing wild management zones is part of a
broad effort aimed at modifying our hatchery programs to be compatible
with conservation and

recovery of naturally
spawning salmon and steelhead populations,” Warren
said.
“Shifting hatchery steelhead production away from
the Sol Duc River — where
we have one of the largest
wild steelhead populations
in the state — is an important step in that effort.”
While the hatchery program will no longer take
place at Snider Creek,
WDFW is working with
stakeholders to re-establish
a similar effort in the
Bogachiel or Calawah rivers, where the department
already releases hatchery
steelhead, Warren said.
The program will end
next spring when 25,000
winter steelhead smolts are
released into the Sol Duc
River, Warren said.
Last year, WDFW also
discontinued its summer
steelhead program on the
Sol Duc River, after releasing 20,000 smolts.
While fewer and fewer
hatchery steelhead will be
returning to the Sol Duc
River in the coming years,
anglers will continue to
have opportunities to fish
for salmon and other game
fish, as well as retain one
wild steelhead per license
year on the river, Warren
said.

The Snider Creek program was created in 1986
as a joint project with the
Olympic Peninsula Guides’
Association to increase fishing opportunities for steelhead on the Sol Duc River.
The program is unlike
most other hatchery efforts
in that it produces offspring
from wild steelhead rather
than hatchery fish.

DEAR ABBY: There is an ongoing issue between my husband and
me.
It’s his disregard for my personal
safety.
Our large city is known for its
heavy, fast traffic and impatient
drivers.
“Jon” is a good driver.
He likes to drive in the left (passing) lane on the highway or toll way,
usually about 5 miles above the
posted speed limit.
This is considered too slow for
many drivers, who become impatient
and aggressive having to be behind
us in the fast lane.
They flash their headlights
and tailgate us, trying to get him
to move over into the right lane so
they can pass, but Jon refuses to
yield.
If they start to pass us on the
right, he will speed up and race
them so they can’t get ahead of him.
He says he’s “teaching them a lesson.”
I have told my husband repeatedly that these games are dangerous
and they scare me.
Not only could we get into an
accident, but we could get into an
ugly confrontation or worse.
I am terrified in these situations
and he knows it, but he continues.
I try to drive as often as possible,
but I can’t see as well at night
as I used to, so Jon drives at
night or when we’re going long
distances.
With the price of gas and considering the inconvenience and inefficiency, it doesn’t make sense to go in
separate cars.
Do you have any suggestions?

you can show
Van Buren Jon in black and
white that his
behavior is not
only wrong, but
dangerous.
While some
husbands are not
receptive to a
wife’s comments
about their driving, most will listen to what a state
trooper has to say about good driving
practices versus bad ones.
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to
that.
And one more word of advice:
Continue being the driver as often as
possible.
Your lives could depend on it.

Abigail

Dear Abby: I was discussing
with my 26-year-old daughter
how parents punish their kids
when suddenly she told me that
she hated that I would make her
write “lines” when she was growing
up.
She mentioned that one day, I
made her do it when her friend was
there to play with her.
I felt really bad about this and
wonder why she is bringing this up
now.
Wondering
Down South
Dear Wondering: It came up
now because punishment was the
topic of conversation, and she flashed
back on how humiliating it was to
have been punished in front of a
friend.
Clearly, it made an impact —
and it would be interesting to know
if the infraction was repeated after
that.

Dear On a Collision Course:
Jon should be told that impeding the
flow of traffic is a very dangerous
practice.
His childish behavior could incite
road rage, and it is everyone’s
responsibility to minimize instances
in which road rage can occur.
Contact the Department of Public
Safety to get a copy of the Texas
Drivers Handbook.

NONSIGNIFICANCE
P.U.D. No. 1 of Clallam County has issued a determination of nonsignificance (DNS) under the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Rules, Chapter
197-11 WAC, for the following project: Build a permanent gravel utility access road across a wetland
for a length of approximately 250’ with a width of
approximately 16’ and a temporary access utilizing
construction mats and gravel for an approximate
length of 55’ with a width of approximately 16’. A
working platform would also be constructed at each
of the two locations with an approximate size of 24’
x 35’. Existing water flows will be maintained with
the use of culverts and the wrapping of quarry

Weinblatt, who is directing the show with Rowen
Matkins, calls it a kind of
“indoor Shakespeare in the

to bring pillows, blankets,
backrests and low-rider

available at the show for
those who need them.
The birds alighting in
“Conference” include a gracious dove (Keira Matkins),
a proud falcon (Erik

self-absorbed peacock

‘Movies and Their Music’ looks back
at songs from many beloved films
BY DIANE URBANI
DE LA PAZ
PENINSULA SPOTLIGHT

DUNGENESS — An
interlude of romance and
remembrance is about to
unfold, courtesy of 17 singers and 18 songs.
So promises Dewey
Ehling, musical director of
“Movies and Their Music,”
the revue opening tonight
at the Dungeness Schoolhouse, 2781 Towne Road.
The production, with its
ensemble of vocalists, select
skits from classic movies and
narrator Pat Owens, is 90
minutes of stories in song.
Just a taste, now: “When
You Wish upon a Star,”
from the 1940 classic “Pinocchio,” opens the show;
then come “The Last Time
I Saw Paris” from 1941’s
“Lady Be Good,” “You’ll
Never Know” from 1943’s
“Hello, Frisco, Hello,” and
“Swinging on a Star” from
“Going My Way,” the 1944
film starring Bing Crosby.
“Movies and Their
Music” stars local singers
of note, including Carol
Swarbrick Dries, Linda
Grubb, Ric Munhall and
Brian Doig.
Munhall, in addition to
singing, is also the stage
director and orchestrator of
the movie scenes rounding
out the revue.
